But I've always known that I had privileges, not rights. That's the way it is when you're dealing with other people. Even in a family. That's just reality. Other people are flawed and changeable.

The thing is, God loves me (and loves everyone else), but God doesn't decide what gets done in human affairs here on Earth because we have free will! We decide what gets done. And I KNOW that other people will not necessarily respect my God-given "rights" under certain circumstances. Like I said, that's just reality.

So, yeah, of course I've got privileges, not rights, and no USA Constitution will ever alter the fact that that's exactly the same spot you are in, my friend. You also have privileges, not rights. Your government can always find clever and ruthless ways to deviate around whatever it says in your Constitution anytime they decide to...because governments are not like God. They are not that dependable. They do not love everyone.

Your government is entirely capable at any time of corrupting your Constitution, regardless of whether your rights come from God or not.

I understand how you feel about it...but that feeling will not protect you if your government decides you are in its way for some reason.
